Constructing a Big Dam after the 1951 Missouri River Flood: Tuttle Creek Reservoir, Kansas
The 1951 flood, pictured on the cover of this Great Rivers publication, was devastating to the lower Missouri River basin. It changed minds. Before the flood, the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers had been authorized to construct a flood control dam and reservoir on a tributary of the Missouri River. An intense debate was waged between the downstream proponents for Tuttle Creek Reservoir and the desire of local watershed groups to prevent land inundation. After the 1951 flood disaster, Congress and the Corps moved the dam project from the deferred to active status with the approval of many former dissenters. The proponents' slogan was "Never Again." The dam building contract was issued 22 September 1952.
